LGBTQ Services

June 25, 2010

As a leader in the anti-violence movement, WEAVE is committed to
addressing issues of violence in all communities. WEAVE’s
services are available to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transsexual/Transgendered and Questioning (LGBTQ) survivors of
domestic violence and sexual assault.

You share many of the same feelings as other survivors of sexual
assault or domestic violence, such as guilt, powerlessness,
feeling unsafe, denial, shock, anger, etc. While your experience
of fear and distress does not depend on gender or sexuality, your
experience of the world is extremely influenced by this. As with
any group who experiences prejudice, there are certain barriers
and concerns that are particular to the LGBTQ community when
trying to access services.

Violence doesn’t discriminate.
Neither does WEAVE.

If you, or a loved one, are a survivor of domestic violence or
sexual assault, WEAVE is a safe place to go to get help. Call the
24-Hour Support
and Information Line to access all of WEAVE’s services.
